Well, IMHO, most of what we have deemed as what is moral and immoral was dictated to us under a religious code.

Murder is wrong for those who call themselves Christians because God said it was so in The Commandments.

However, it can be said that Jesus Christ was murdered at the hands of the Pharisees and in fact Pontius Pilate washed his hands so that he would not be implicated in allowing his murder to occur. Some say, that the way the Resurrection was written was to not to offend the Romans, though...

Anyhow, needless to say, the morality or immorality of the whole murderous issue goes out the door when there is war...

Hey, nowadays, folks are dying left and right at the hands of soldiers and suicide/homocide bombers... Who is right?

But in the United States, there is this thing called the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And there is a code of conduct as dictated by society. I am sure all the Sociology majors are more than happy to explain to the rest of us the design of what we call society. So, since we live in this situation now that has undergirded us through birth, humans have evolved this elaborate scheme of morphing realities based on what the "powers that be" deem as necessary.

Simply put, the one with Gold Rules--that is the Golden Rule...

I can say this, there the Gene Doctors have not yet identified the genetic programs that dictates one's predisposition or predilections to commiting crime or immoral acts...
